Update from the house of Plague (Day 101 of Year 2)

House of plague confirmed (Darcy's PCR was positive).



Am not feeling great myself - just sort of all over achy, so I guess we'll see how it goes. If the daily posts stop because of actual covid I'll appreciate the irony for sure...

Somehow getting a notification for this story feels very apropos, given the state of my head at the moment:

Daily Dimash: Thousands Of Miles A Common Dream

The song is based on the poetry of Zhang Jiuling of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was written to comfort friends who are about to travel a long journey.


Longer video with context & subtitles:



Go to youtube to see more info/story/lyrics. All I'll note here is that Dimash dedicated the song to the medical workers of the Wuhan Union Hospital (the song was recorded on Jan. 8, 2020). The main objective of this show is to popularize the Chinese traditional fine arts among the young people through pop culture by having pop stars sing the texts of ancient poetry out to the audience.

He also performed 'Adai' on the dombra:

Dimash sang in New Year (2021-22) in China on the CCTV channel with Thousands of Miles, A Common Dream (万里梦同心), in a duet with Yingxi Zhang.



ETA: Lovely reaction. Make sure to add subtitles.

That's the spirit: kill it with fire. (The internal fires. Of your immune system.)

I have a whole draft of my vid. Get better and you can watch it. I am not above threats or bribery.

At the moment there are just sort of grumbly embers.
Those are good too.

I will see if I can get himself to agree to watch more show. It might still be beyond his brain capacity - last night we ended up watching Antman, which was just about the right level.
I mean threats or bribery to get you better <3 Not that I'm against you getting farther in S&B, mind. But sick tv viewing obviously has imperatives all its own which must be obeyed.
